Kenmore man sent to prison for accident that killed woman

A drug-impaired driver who hit and killed a woman as she unloaded packages from the back of her parked car outside a West Side rental property she owned was sentenced Tuesday to two to six years in prison.

Erie County Judge Kenneth F. Case ordered the prison term for Ian Diebold, 23, of Kenmore, who prosecutors said was impaired by the painkiller fentanyl when he ran into Them Thi Li, a 65-year-old Vietnamese immigrant, on Oct. 13.
